setting groups and users other than root

setting groups and users other than root

I have observed that the group and user default to root for unless I do
explicit chown and chgrp in the do_install step for a given recipe.

I have few recipes for which the group and user are to be set to something
other than root. Is there a way to achieve this? Such that the user and
group default to something else for these given recipes?

you can achieve it via already defined abstraction. Please read

You might want to read[1] "user and group configuration to be applied at 
the image level" as well
